Need help with a suspicious e-mail that keeps coming up?

OK, i've copied and pasted the email content in here so you guys can give me your input.

It keeps coming back .. or appears to be coming back from the same address?

I'm not sure whats going on, but I've gotten it multiple times for the last several days.

Its the same content every time, same address and all.

Couple things:
1 - This is a common way to get spam emails or other maliciuous content through various filters. Think "Gee, my user needs to know that their email didn't go through! Deliver this!" Not that hard to forge.

2 - Really need to see the full header from the email to see anything else.

3 - Create a filter and continue to ignore.

Well, I figured its some kind of spam.. but what ever its not legit. I use Outlook, so I guess the next thing to do it filter it out.

Got it set up in rules to permanently delete it. So hopefully I wont even see it hit my in box... period:)

Change your password to your email account to a good complex one different than it is now. See if that changes things.
